YouTube rocked its own Ads Leaderboard in June, place the No. 1 and No. 4 spots on the list of the month’s most watched ads on the video platform. #MoreThanARefugee topped the list, while the latest #ProudToBe spot for Pride was fourth.
Console and gaming spots filled out the rest of the top five, while Audi, Foot Locker and Apple also made appearances on this month’s list.
Note: To be eligible for Adweek and Google’s YouTube Ads Leaderboard, videos must be marked as ads on YouTube (i.e., they get some paid views) but must also earn significant organic views.

The views counts are for the month in question only, though the ads could have been uploaded in prior months.
